How much did Line 2 Bloor–Danforth cost to build?
Line 2 Bloor-Danforth is the east-west subway line of the Toronto Transit Commission, whose first section of about eight miles (12.9 km) from Keele Street to Woodbine Avenue opened to the public on 26 February 1966 after an official opening on 25 February by Prime Minister L.B. Pearson and Premier John Robarts, with extensions to Islington and Warden on 11 May 1968 and to Kipling and Kennedy in November 1980. The Toronto Transit Commission's own article of 1966 calls it the CAD 200 million Bloor-Danforth-University subway project, a figure that covered the Bloor-Danforth and the University subways together.
